The emotion machine : commonsense thinking, artificial intelligence, and the future of the human mind by
Marvin Minsky(
Book
)
19 editions published between 2006 and 2014 in English and Undetermined and held by 963 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In [this book, the author] shows why we should expand our ideas about thinking and how thinking itself might change in the future. [This book] explains how our minds work, how they progress from simple kinds of thought to more complex forms that enable us to reflect on ourselves -- what most people refer to as consciousness, or self-awareness. Unlike other broad theories of the mind, this book proceeds in a step-by-step fashion that draws on detailed and specific examples. It shows that thinking -- even higher-level thinking -- can be broken down into a series of specific actions. From emotional states to goals and attachments and on to consciousness and awareness of self, we can understand the process of thinking in all its intricacy. And once we understand thinking, we can build machines -- artificial intelligences -- that can assist with our thinking, machines that can follow the same thinking patterns that we follow and that can think as we do. These humanlike thinking machines would also be emotion machines -- just as we are.-Dust jacket

La societe de l'esprit by

Book
)
7 editions published in 1988 in French and held by 151 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Pour Minsky le cerveau ne serait qu'une somme de composants imparfaits, chacun doté d'une fonction déterminée que l'on sait aujourd'hui localiser, détruire ou exciter. Chaque composant -- que Minsky appelle agent -- ne peut faire à lui seul qu'une chose simple, qui n'exige ni esprit ni pensée. Pourtant, lorsqu'ils sont reliés entre eux, tous ces composants du cerveau constituent une sorte de société; ce sont les relations complexes à l'intérieur de cette société qui forment ce que l'on appelle l'esprit

With the advent of modern digital computers, man has developed inanimate devices capable of exhibiting intelligent behavior. In addition to their applications to other areas, these devices may be used as tools to study and develop theories about intelligence itself. The subject of Professor Minsky's lectures, printed herein, in the form of a progress report , is the development of a theory of intelligence and the role played by computers in this development

Inventive minds : Marvin Minsky on education by
Marvin Minsky(
)
3 editions published in 2019 in English and Undetermined and held by 26 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Marvin Minsky was a pioneering researcher in artificial intelligence whose work led to both theoretical and practical advances. His work was motivated not only by technological advancement but also by the desire to understand the workings of our own minds. Minsky's insights about the mind provide fresh perspectives on education and how children learn. This book collects for the first time six essays by Minsky on children, learning, and the potential of computers in school to enrich children's development. In these essays Minsky discusses the shortcomings of conventional education (particularly in mathematics) and considers alternative approaches; reflects on the role of mentors; describes higher-level strategies for thinking across domains; and suggests projects for children to pursue. Each essay is paired with commentary by one of Minsky's former colleagues or students, which identifies Minsky's key ideas and connects his writings to current research. Minsky once observed that in traditional teaching, "instead of promoting inventiveness, we focus on preventing mistakes." These essays offer Minsky's unique insights into how education can foster inventiveness
